Sitting up on the roof
|
Sneaking a smoke by the chimney
|
Checking out the moon
|
And the city lights
|
He takes off his flannel shirt
|
And he drapes it around her shoulders
|
Slides up behind her and holds on tight
|
And she says
|
"I don't want this night to end
|
Why does it have to end?"
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10
|
Baton Rouge, LSU
|
18 years in her rearview
|
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
|
At daddy's shop
|
It ain't much but its a job
|
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
|
The night before
|
Life goes on
|
|
Oooh
|
A tear falls off her cheek and
|
Right when it hits his arm he says
|
"Come on baby
|
Let's get outta here"
|
They take one last drive around town
|
And man it
|
Already looks different
|
He bangs the wheel and says
|
"Life ain't fair
|
And this growing up stuff man I don't know
|
I just don't wanna let you go"
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Tomorrow shell be rolling down I
|
10 Baton Rouge
|
LSU
|
18 years in her rearview
|
Hes got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
|
At daddy's shop
|
It ain't much but its a job
|
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
|
The night before
|
Life goes on
|
|
Yeah that's what my momma told me
|
And just like those kids
|
I didn't wanna listen to no one
|
Yea theres nothing you can do
|
Theres nothing you can say
|
And I know how it feels when love goes away
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Tomorrow shell be rolling down I
|
10 Baton Rouge
|
LSU
|
18 years in her rear-view
|
Hes got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
|
At daddies shop
|
It ain't much but its a job
|
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
|
But here it is
|
They don't have long
|
The night before
|
Life goes on
|
Yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah e yeahhhh
